Pearls of Great Value

Did you know there is room for you in the body of Christ? 

I'm talking to the one who has been left behind. Over and over again you have been chosen last. You've been overlooked and made to feel like no one sees you. Here is the One that has eyes fixed on you, He's chosen you and loved you from the start. Without fail. There's room for you!

I'm talking to the one who is hiding. Hiding in a cloud of shame. Hiding behind a front because the mistakes you've made have left you drained and empty and you don't know where to go. I have good news for you. Nothing you have ever done will keep the Father from loving you less. Come! There's room for you!

To the one who is hiding in a shell of insecurity, wondering if you are worthy. You have been lonely and also a bit scared. You've thought, maybe this is all there is. You see the glimpses of light in the distance but long for the radiant burst of sunshine to cover you. Here it is. With Him. There is room for you! 

I'm talking to the one who is on the run. You've left because you thought there was more to experience over the horizon. Or maybe you've been running because deep inside you are scared of intimacy. Perhaps you have felt as if things have been withheld from you but now you're slowly realizing, no matter where you are, something is still missing. If you are the son who has wasted his inheritance in search for meaning and discovered only loss, come back home. Come to Jesus. There's room for you. 

I'm talking to the sad and the hopeless. To the one caught in a storm and the wind is raging. I'm talking to the one who is calling out for the calm. You have been caught in this dark place and everywhere you turn you can only see pitch black. Slow down and take a breath. Look up and see the light. Listen for a still small voice. Remember God is good! He is the calm. He is the dawn after your darkest night. So walk on. Make the choice. Follow Him and believe. He is the Father of light and there is always room for you. Right here. Where He is. 

For the one with all the questions. For the one who has been hurt by the church. For the weary and for the one drowning in a thousand different voices. For the confined and the confused. I pray that He will fill your heart and soul with His love and show you the truth of the goodness of the body of Christ. Oh, may the Spirit burn truth inside of you! Mark you with the light! I pray that you will not stay the same but let yourself be changed by Him. May you experience the walk with God and know that there is room just for you. 

There is room. Room to live and a home to grow up in. Room to experience love and healing. There is room for questions and a place for your doubts to be heard. Grace will not leave you stranded on an island in confusion. Love will not let you sink in despair. Mercy reaches out to help. Draw close to Him and He will draw closer to you. There is room for quiet and room for your cries. There is no place, no position, no situation that you'll find yourself in where He won't meet you and make room for you. And He'll make a difference in you and for you if you give him room to do so. For His love has no borders or boundaries. You were made for Him beloved! You were made to experience His love. 

In a world where so many refuse to hear His voice may you choose to listen. He seeks to guide your feet to solid ground. His voice will lead to green pastures and beside still waters. He will shepherd you and show you the way to go. Listen! His sheep know His voice and a strangers voice they will not follow. I pray your ears will be blessed to always hear and know his voice.

There is peace where Jesus dwells. Yes, your circumstances might not be well, but He makes peace in the midst of storms possible. Make up your mind to see that He is always good and His love will not give up on you. Give Him a chance. Give His house a visit. And see if He will not surpass your expectations. He lives! He ever lives to intercede for you. His eyes are ever toward you, gazing on you with love and protection. Oh how I pray you will see the joy on His face as He looks at you!

He's not disappointed in you! Yes, sometimes the things we do probably make him shake his head, and He loves you too much to let you stay stuck, but never forget He loves you immensely. He has made room for you to grow and to become like He is. He has lavishly provided and furnished every space. All you need? It is right here with Him. Right here in this room that He has made for you. So come on in! You are so welcome here.

 Don't wait till tomorrow but come today! Don't let your fears keep you from walking on in. Don't let your busy schedule keep you away. Don't let Satan tell you you have a lot of time. Throw off complacency and run to Jesus. Don't wait to see His face! Come today. Come on in. There is room or you!

‭‭John‬ ‭14:2‭-‬3‬ ‭NIV‬‬: My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
